Favorite Comedian(s)

What the title says.   Mine are Daniel Tosh, Eddie Griffin, Dave Chappelle, Hari Kondabolu, Iliza Schlesinger, and some others I forgot.
EDIT: Just watched Russell Peters' stand-up, he's hilarious.
EDIT: How could I forget the late great George Carlin?   Also Mitch Hedburg, Kevin James, and Patton Oswalt.
EDIT: Again, I forgot people.   Two Jims: Jim Gaffigan and Jim Jefferies.   And also David Koechner.
EDIT: Louis C.K., and I guess Elijah Wood for the show Wilfred if that counts.
EDIT: Nick Swardson, Aziz Ansari, Seth McFarlane, Seth Green, Seth Rogen, Alex Borstein, Danny Glover, Kristen Schaal, Craig Robinson, Tina Fey, Amy Poehler, Danny McBride, Jason Segel, James Franco, Alyson Hannigan, Josh Radnor, Cobie Smulders.   This post has had more edits than Heidi Montag's face!   But I think I'm done.
EDIT: Apparently not.   Jerry Seinfeld.
EDIT: So forgetful, I am.   Eddie Murphy, Charlie Murphy, Lisa Lampanelli, Jeff Ross, Greg Giraldo (R.I.P.), Paul Mann, Whitney Cummings.

Re: Favorite Comedian(s)

1. He's not funny.
2. He steals jokes from funny people like Louis CK.

Dane Cook.   Really.   DANE F$*KING COOK.   Why?

Because before hating on him became a spectator sport, he was actually quite hilarious and his sets were full of energy. His only problem was he rose too high too fast, ended up getting branded as "overrated" as a result, and he ended up as pop-culture punching bag. But I'd be dishonest if I didn't put his classic material on my short-list.

Please read my post above this one.   It expounds a bit on my point of view.

Re: Favorite Comedian(s)

@32OrtonEdge32dh By the same token, you listed Louis CK in your favorites, whom I don't care for. He has some funny moments but his material is too cringe-worthy for my taste... too much awkward-for-awkward's-sake. Honestly, we'll have to agree to disagree on "He's not funny".

I hadn't heard of the Louis CK plagarism accusation before, but I googled it and am about to read this: http://nymag.com/daily/entertainment/20 … louie.html

Re: Favorite Comedian(s)

I'm pretty sure he's stolen from Joe Rogan before.   In fact, I'm sure sure.

EDIT: Found one of the jokes stolen.
Louis C.K.'s version: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JRK5F_wR … re=related
Dane Cook's version: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8h4WrsTo … re=related
They're not the exact same, but they're not dissimilar enough to dissuade thoughts of plagiarism.

Re: Favorite Comedian(s)

I remember it.   I also remember the stolen bit was called "Tigers F&#king", but I can't find it on the YouthTubes.
Also, Dane stole a total of three jokes from Louis.   "Struck by a Vehicle," "Itchy ****," and "My Son Optimus Prime," from Cook's 2005 album Retaliation are stolen from the bits "Guy on a Bike," "Itchy ****," and "Kid's Names," from C.K.'s 2003 album Live in Houston.
